Residential construction is on the mend with building underway in several subdivisions in Mesquite. The demand for new homes resulted in the issuance of 116 building permits through July with a valuation of over $19.5 million. This compares with 101 permits during the same time last year valued at $15.2 million.

Permits for residential modifications were also up significantly from last year. Through July, the city issued 80 residential permits valued at $750,000. During the same period in 2012, the city issued 47 permits valued at $320,000.
